How are the LU business courses designed?
Laurentian University H.B.Com courses are designed for study in an online environment. A course typically comprises 10 or 11 modules and is delivered over a 13-week period. Each module should take between 15 and 20 hours to complete. Supporting material such as textbooks and business cases will be provided. Students must arrange their own connection to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider. The courses make extensive use of the Internet and discussion forums, encouraging students to take an active part in their learning experience. Students will be required to complete online group projects and to participate weekly in online discussions with other students and the course instructor. Specific requirements for each course vary; as a general rule, students should plan to participate weekly in discussions and group work. The course grade will include marks for individual and group work, participation and contribution in discussion forums, and a final examination.
